The state of third party support on Wii U is unfortunate, to say the least. While major AAA developers supported the platform during its initial release, Nintendo's console has been largely abandoned by multiple major publisher; various notable third party efforts - such as Bayonetta 2 and Sonic...

Ubisoft may not be throwing games at Nintendo systems any more, but it sure is happy to run eShop discounts on its older titles. Every few months we see plenty of price reductions, and the latest promotional batch has now been announced for North America.
Available now and running...

Released back in spring Ubisoft Montreal's Child of Light possessed a uniquely gorgeous visual style that few, if any, have matched. In a talk at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) earlier this year, Creative Director Patrick Plourde discussed the journey from concept art to bringing the 2D RPG to...

Yesterday, we posted footage from the Wii U version of Watch Dogs, essentially to prove that it actually, you know, exists.
Today, we're back with another — rather more chaotic — helping of in-game footage which shows us driving (badly), hacking (badly), trying to run down pedestrians (badly) and trying to shoot someone (we didn't...

Fergal Gara and Shawn Layden are entitled to their opinions, of course

Christmas is looming on the snow-covered horizon like a massive overstuffed turkey, but instead of exchanging gifts the big players in the video game hardware arena are talking trash about one another. At one end of the "Burn" scale there's Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime,...

As much as we'd like to go over the sorry history of the Wii U version of Watch Dogs, we'll resist the urge. All that needs to be said is that the game finally launches on Nintendo's console this week — an event many believed would never happen — and we've captured some footage to prove that it actually...

Despite its name suggesting otherwise, Just Dance 2015 is in fact only the sixth entry in the main series of Just Dance games, and the aim is as simple as it gets; you have to replicate the dance moves that the on-screen dancers perform in time with the music and as accurately as you can. The ethos is simple, but can it provide...

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs for Wii U is due out next month, and new details about the long-awaited release continue to surface. After a series of ongoing promises, an eventual confirmation that the game was in fact on its way to Nintendo’s latest home console, and follow-up news that the Wii U entry

Ubisoft has announced today that it is launching two new entries in its long-running Petz franchise. Petz Beach and Petz Countryside will launch on the Nintendo 3DS this month, and will allow players to look after 50 different animal types.
The two games will feature connectivity with one another, and will also utilise...

Ubisoft certainly has its critics among Nintendo gamers, and the fact the upcoming Tetris home console releases published by the company are skipping Wii U doesn't help matters. The 3DS is still a money-spinner, however, and Tetris Ultimate on the portable will feature exclusive modes and gameplay to make use of the hardware. The...

Assassin's Creed Unity was always envisaged as a next-gen title, and its no-show on the Wii U should perhaps come as no great surprise. However, the game's creative director Alex Amancio still has to field questions on the topic, and has given Red Bull the most detailed explanation we've seen so far:
I mean this is why we...

After a series of ongoing release promises and the eventual confirmation that Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs was indeed on its way to Nintendo’s latest home console, new information has surfaced that the Wii U entry will not include any downloadable content.
The announcement w

Ubisoft has revealed the full tracklist for the upcoming Wii and Wii U title Just Dance 2015. The songs featured are a mix of genres to try and appeal to as broad an audience as possible. You can see the full list for yourself right here:
"Bang Bang" – Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj

After Ubisoft Mexico let the dog(?) out of the bag, the publisher has now officially confirmed release dates for Watch Dogs on Wii U — it hits North America on 18th November and Europe on 21st November.
The development studio responsible for the port is Ubisoft Montreal, which also brought us the Wii U versions...

Watching for Watch Dogs has become a bit of a hobby here at Nintendo Life HQ, taking up the tactic of our canine friends that if you stare at someone — in this case Ubisoft — long enough they'll give in and fetch you that sandbox shooting / hacking game you always wanted. The publishing giant likes to tease before giving...

Following recent news that a solid street date continues to elude the Wii U version of Watch Dogs, a user of Nintendo’s latest home console who goes by the name of DiGiTaLM4N has taken a photo of the Uplay application on the system featuring an updated showcase of Ubisoft’s long-delayed title.
If this is in fact new evidence, it is...

Ubisoft has revealed its latest UK release schedule, and a solid street date continues to allude the long-delayed Wii U version of Watch Dogs.
The open-world action adventure launched on other formats in May, while the Nintendo edition was held back until later in the year. Ubisoft has...

We know that Ubisoft is happy to support Nintendo with anything but "mature" games, and it's fulfilling that brief with the announcement that it's publishing a learning game for 3DS - Poptropica: Forgotten Islands.
Poptropica is an online 'virtual world' for children that includes games to improve literacy and provide...

Earlier this week Ubisoft made it clear that — in the foreseeable future — Watch Dogs will be the company's only "mature" game on Wii U. It's a decision that makes business sense due to Ubisoft's struggles with the system, as the company aims to release and target games that typically sell well on...

In these days of rapid fire communication via social media, it's not uncommon for somebody to hastily post something to the world and get themselves into trouble. More often than not these gaffs are made by individuals, not those working on social media teams for multinational video game publishers such as Ubisoft.
